Author's Note- Hello, and welcome to the crossover betweenLegend of Zelda: Twilight PrincessandAvatar: The Last Airbender. This story takes place one year after the War (Avatar), and right at the start of the game (Twilight Princess). Ozai has escaped his prison cell, and Azula has too. Ozai masters swords fighting, and gathers followers, who know chi-blocking, and go to find and kill the Avatar and Zuko. At the same time, Toph masters swords fighting as well, creating some special skills along the way.
But in a horrible accident, Toph finds herself in Hyrule, and teams up with a certain Hylian and imp, and has to save the world from destruction. But she discovers something along the way, which reveals the fate of her world.
Any questions, please review.
(BTW - Toph is left-handed in this story.)
2012 Edit - Plot was rearranged, fixed, whatever verb you want to add here.
DISCLAIMER- I do not own Legend of Zelda or Avatar, they belong to their respective owners.
"There is nothing left of you
I can see it in your eyes
Sing the anthem of the angels
And say the last goodbye
I keep holding onto you
But I can't bring you back to life
Sing the anthem of the angels
Then say the last goodbye"
- Anthem of the Angels by Breaking Benjamin
Omashu was in chaos. The moon shone down on the city, illuminating the chaos. The inferno was spreading, and the sky itself seemed like it was bleeding ashes. Stolen or hijacked guilders filled the sky, along with a few air balloons. Ozai's loyalists were slaughtering the innocent pedestrians, until the Earth Kingdom Army arrived. Rock, fire, and blood flew. The Loyalist's chi-blocking were making things difficult, and most of the army were losing their bending. They took out their required non-bending weapons, as their general instructed them to. The weapons ranged from swords to bow and arrows, each weapon is required to be mastered before fighting any Loyalist.
The General cursed as she collapsed an entire building on a group of Loyalists. Unexpectedly, a gliding Loyalist dropped down from one of the air balloons, and before the Earthbender could move, the Loyalist's hands flashed like lightning, making the bender's left arm go limp.
The masked Loyalist smiled from underneath his mask, but then the Earthbender stepped back, face shining in the moonlight. The blood drained from his face, and took a step back, heart pounding. Standing before him was Toph Bei Fong, one of the most notorious and deadly generals of all time.
A grin stretched across the blind Earthbender's face, and her right arm moved to the hilt of her scimitar. In a bone-chilling voice, she said, "You're going to regret that,"
The blade slowly slid out of its sheath, almost glowing a sickly green. Outlines of skulls rode up the blade, faces of the damned, screaming in agony. A one of a kind blade, made of the newly discovered metal, buried beneath the glowing catacombs of Ba Sing Se. Soul Stone, the metal of the masters.
The terrified Loyalist panicked, and stupidly ran forward. The blind Earthbender simply encased her arm in stone, and punched the Loyalist in the chest. He was temporarily stunned, while Toph unexpectedly leapt into the air and sliced open his head, executing a perfect Helm Slice, one of the techniques she created. Landing a few feet behind him, the body fell, spewing blood into the sky.
Toph began sprinting to the center of the city, her left right arm swaying by her side. Debris from the nearby building rained down on her, only to be bended away. The unfortunate Loyalists in the way were immediately killed by more of Toph's new sword techniques, and the Earthbender reached Bumi's castle.
Outside the door was a Water Tribe Warrior, pounding furiously on the door with his own meteorite sword. The building itself shook, and Toph sensed intense Earthbending inside, along with two familiar footsteps.
"Snoozles!" Toph shouted, and Sokka whirled around. "What's the hell's going on?"
"It's Azula and Ozai!" Toph tensed at those names, and her right hand tightened on the sword. "They're in there, and so is Bumi!"
Suddenly, the sound of lightning filled their ears, and echoed out into the city. For a second, it seemed as if the world had held its breath. Toph felt one of the footsteps stop, and a heartbeat end...
"TOPH!" Sokka screamed, and Toph bended the door open without her left arm. As the door burst open, the battles below continued, as the two sword masters ran in, seeking the creator of this cataclysm.
The smell of burnt flesh filled their nostrils, and the electricity floated in the room, causing their hair to slightly lift. The room was totaled, with Earthbending spikes and pillars scattered everywhere, along with ash and black streaks across the floor. In the center of the room was a body, charred and unrecognizable, unless you looked at the burnt green royal garments slowly burning on top of the body.
Standing in front of the throne was Azula, crazy as ever. Her hair was a mess, her clothes covered in dry blood, and her blood-shot eyes darting around the room. Sokka noticed a sword strapped to Azula's back, but didn't question it.
Sitting on the throne was Ozai. He was completely armored from his toes to his neck in red blood armor, equipped with a shield and large long sword, about as long as Sokka. It was pure black, with a few red imprints on the blade.
"Hello, peasants." She said, malice dripping off of her voice. Sokka shuddered, while Toph just let out a growl. "Have you seen Zu-zu? He needs to give me my nation back."
"Your nation?" Toph scoffed, sliding her scimitar back into its sheath, while Sokka watched, confused. Her hand was still on the hilt, but the Earthbender was now unarmed.
"Yes, of course it's mine. Zu-zu didn't win the Agni Kai, and before I could, there was, an interruption. That damn Water Tribe peasant interfered."
"Don't talk about my sister like that!" Sokka shouted, hate searing from his voice. Azula ignored him and continued:
"I want a rematch, without any interruptions, and take back my glorious nation, while my father takes the world."
"With only a sword? Please. Aang will kick you asses again."
Azula only laughed, but there was no joy in that laugh, it was empty and hollow. "I plan to train myself before I fight Zu-zu, and I started with a few of the Earth Kingdom cities and their pathetic little leaders, assisting my father," She continued, almost if she didn't hear Toph's last statement. "Those deaths would also get Zu-zu's attention, and he'll look for me, for a fight. And I will give him a fight, while my father will find the Avatar."
Then Azula stood, and lifted her hand. A blue flame floated there, and she smiled. Ozai then stood up behind her, grinning.
"I will sent him straight to hell, but we must get rid of you two first."
Then Ozai leaned over and whispered something into Azula's ear. Then Azula leapt into the air, straight at Sokka. Sokka yelped and dodged the blast of fire that flew his way. The Azula created a large inferno, splitting the room in half. "Snoozles!"
Suddenly, Ozai unsheathed his foul blade, and said, "General Bei Fong, I have heard of your Earthbending, but also your developed swords fighting. You have mastery of this skill, am I correct, cripple?"
Toph just grinned, and turned to the old man, unsheathing her own blade. "Damn straight, I've got even better than Snoozles."
"That boy can barely fight himself, so I expected you to be better than him." He paused, then continued. "I challenge you, in a fight to the death."
"I accept your challenge, and I will enjoy splattering your guts all over the walls!"
Toph' eyes widened when she felt Ozai literally flashed behind her, and she deflected a blow at the right time. Ozai grinned, and leapt backwards, then ran forward, blade outstretched. Their blades clashed, causing a flurry of sparks. It seemed as if both blades were screaming, but their wielders didn't notice.
With a surge of energy, Toph made Ozai fly back a few feet onto the ground. Then Toph ran over and leapt into the air, then forced the blade down to the ground, performing an Ending Blow. Ozai rolled out of the way as the blade struck the ground with shattering force.
Toph tried to get her scimitar out of the floor, but she wasn't fast enough. Ozai swung his sword from his place on the floor, cutting a gash on Toph's limp left arm. As Ozai stood up, Toph retrieved her blade from the ground. They ran toward each other, and once again clashed, and turned into a storm of thrusts, slashes, parries and dodges, and both of them were unable to find an opening to strike.
Ozai then sent a bone-shattering kick to Toph's midsection, and Toph then doubled over, and Ozai then swung his sword towards the 13-year-old's head. If Toph hadn't moved in time she would've been dead, but received a nasty gash on her right temple.
The battle went on and on, both slowly being cut and bruised. Ozai once was able to stab Toph in the stomach, while Toph had cut open Ozai's left shoulder. The two found themselves standing on opposite sides of the room, out of breath and bleeding. Blood was flowing out of Toph's nose and mouth, and she coughed up a spray of blood. Ozai had received a black eye and broken nose, and the two had many injuries.
And they knew this battle was nearing its end.
They suddenly heard Sokka's shouting in the room, and blasts of fire, but ignored it. Then, the Earthbender moved her left arm, and regained feeling in it. Toph coughed up more blood, and then Ozai wheezed, "Let's...end...this..."
The ex-Firebender stood, blood streaming from his wounds. He grinned, and strode forward. Toph struggled to get up, but suddenly, Ozai's blade impaled right through her abdomen, pinning her against the wall. She cried out in pain, then Ozai struck her across the face, his spiked gauntlet slicing her right eye open, and causing her to drop her sword.
"Tsk tsk tsk, so weak." Ozai growled. "But I admit, you put more of a fight than the Avatar."
"Until...he kicked you ass." Toph breathed, each word caused spikes of pain through her body, and then spat in his face. Ozai wiped the slightly bloodied saliva from his face, then twisted the blade, causing a Toph to scream. He muttered, "This is the end, Earthbender. But before you die, I would like to tell you something."
He leaned forward until his mouth was only an inch away from her ear.
"I was the one who killed your parents."
Toph's good eye widened, and then her fists clenched. Ozai pulled back, and ripped out the blade, causing a blast of pain to echo throughout Toph body. She stood, shaking and bleeding, and picked up her sword.
"You can still stand, cripple? No matter, your life ends now." Ozai said, and took a few steps back, wanting to see what Toph would do. She limped forward, and suddenly raised both of her hands, causing the stone floor underneath Ozai's feet to shift, causing him to stumble forward.
Then Toph ran, body screaming in protest with every step, and leap into the air. Ozai barely had enough time to lift up his bloody sword, and then the a strangled cry filled the room.
For a few moments, the only sounds in the room was the cracking of the fire, then a strangled gasp filled the room for a second. Toph hung in the air, impaled by Ozai's sword- right into her chest. Ozai stood underneath, gaping, as Toph's blade was etched into his skull.
Toph then fell as Ozai's arm let go of his blade, and Phoenix King Ozai collapsed onto the floor, dead. Toph hit the floor with a loud thud, and coughed, spewing out a large amount of blood. Her hands found the blade impaled into her, and ripped it out, cutting her hands in the process. Every time she breathed, spikes of pain hit her, as if she was constantly being stabbed. Every heart beat felt like her last, and she closed her eye.
The fire spreading the room suddenly went out with a splash, and in the steam stood Sokka, with his reinforcements: Katara and Aang. Azula was frozen against the wall, ice covering her mouth, muffling her laughter once she saw what was on the other side. Everyone else gasped, and the three ran forward.
"Toph? TOPH!" Sokka screamed, and Katara immediately began working on the Earthbender's wounds. Aang stood a feet away, gaping at the bloodied mess in front of him. This is my fault. The Avatar thought. If only I killed him sooner...
Katara bit her lip, and whispered, "This is really, really bad." Sokka stared at his sister in disbelief, since that was the same tone she said when she was healing Jet. He breathed, "No, no!"
"Toph, please, don't die!" He began shouting, and held her right hand. "You can't die here!"
Then Katara closed her eyes a bit longer than a standard blink, and suddenly was sobbing. Everyone knew what that meant. Toph's light breathing was rapidly slowing, and then she breathed, "G-guys..."
"Toph, save your breath, I'll go get help." Aang said, but before he could leave, Toph said, "Don't...it's..too late... anyways..."
He turned to her, tears streaming down his face. Then his eyes widened, and gasped.
Standing next to Ozai's body, was a man dressed in strange black robes, with green lines running across his chest and arms. His sleeves went past his hands, and a stall metal helmet was on his head. One of his sleeve covered hands was held out above Ozai's corpse, and a orange and black object hovering in his hand.
Sokka immediately stood and pointed his blade at him, "Who the hell are you?"
Ignoring him, the man stepped over Ozai and began walking towards them. "Get back!" Sokka shouted, and rushed toward the man. When Sokka was only a foot away, he froze and was lifted into the air. Katara screamed and Sokka was thrown back by the invisible force, and flew into Aang, knocking both of them back. As the man got closer, Katara stood and opened her water skin and sent ice spikes at the man, only for the invisible force to shatter them.
The man paused, and lazily waved his other arm. The waterbender felt something shove her away, causing her to fly a few feet away.
"Katara!" Aang shouted, shoving a dazed Sokka off of himself. Toph, motionless in pain, was suddenly lifted into the air in front of the man, arms extended. Blood rolled down her face and clothes, dripping onto the growing puddle on the floor. The man stood right in front of her, object inches away from her face.
"What...what do you want...?" She muttered, feeling completely blind. Once again, the man ignored her words, and the object unexpectedly shot straight at the Earthbender's forehead. The rest of the Gaang screamed, Aang automatically standing up.
To everyone's surprise, the object simply faded through her skin like a rock sinking in a pond. After a few seconds of shocked silence, the man dropped his extended arm, causing the Earthbender to hit the floor. Then the Earthbender's deadened breathing stopped completely.
Katara screamed, and Aang ran forward at the man, hate in his eyes. The man's head turned towards the Airbender, and another object appeared in his hand. His eyes widened as the man dropped it, fading into the floor.
A deafening explosion rang in the soldiers and Loyalists ears, as the castle suddenly was engulfed with a powerful black energy. They watched in horror as the black sphere of energy exploded, raining giant chunks of debris everywhere.
The Avatar and the Phoenix King were dead.
Author's Note - CLIFFE! XD
I know, I've been gone for about a month, and you must have though I'm dead. But I'm not...I think. I may be a zombie, but who cares? Don't worry, the Gaang (mostly Toph) is NOT dead yet. Next Chapter coming soon!
